NHL players to raise funds for sick kids

The event, part of the third annual Stanley Keg tournament, will be held at the Pierrefonds Sportplexe arena and will feature 25 NHL players, including Guillaume Latendresse of the Habs, Buffalo Sabers forward Jason Pominville, Minnesota Wild's Pierre-Marc Bouchard, Pittsburgh Penguin's Maxime Talbot as well as Pincourt native Alexandre Burrows, who toils for the Vancouver Canucks.

All proceeds will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which helps seriously ill children realize a 'wish' in order to raise their spirits and keep battling their medical problems.

Tickets for the exhibition match, which starts at 7 p.m., are $15.
